Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

In after Baud. Damn.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Apparently I was targeted this week by the global dandelion jihad, and they successfully ran attacks all over my property without my noticing. I’ve been running clear and hold missions for the last hour or so, but I may have to venture into my neighbors yard, because I can tell the dandelion jiahd is being given safe harbor there.

At any rate, is there any way to handle this between the two obvious solutions: digging every damned one of them up or spraying poison all over the damned place? I don’t like either option.

Also, got Tunch’s bird feeder set up. Waiting for the birds to notice it.

Drill Here, Y’all

I didn’t know that the South, region that houses 36 percent of our population, consumes 44 percent of our energy. And, because of low utility rates, Southerners spend less per-capita on energy efficiency than any other region.

I guess this explains a hell of a lot of the “drill here, drill now” rhetoric coming from Republicans, as well as opposition to cap-and-trade. They have a huge short-term incentive to keep energy prices low for their base.

Consider this my obligatory Earth Day post, and an open thread.

Through a Dogs Eyes on PBS was excellent, and I highly recommend it. While watching, I had a glass of Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc that I really enjoyed. For some reason, in general, I seem to really like the Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand more than from anywhere else.

Also, don’t forget Radio Kaos at 9 central.

Personally, I am just exhausted. I can barely stay up past ten pm the last couple of weeks. I do have a tech question, though.

I would like to stream audio and video to my living room through my wireless router, but I don’t have an xbox 360 or PS3. Is there a contraption I can buy that will be able to plug into my receiver and tv that will accept data from my home network? And I’m clueless about this, so speak slowly.

Never Gonna Get It

Just watched a show on the Nat. Geo. channel about Stephen Hawking and his quest for a theory of everything, and it led to a discussion about string theory. Try as I might, I am simply unable to mentally visualize and thus fully comprehend the concept of nine dimensions. I understand what they are saying (sort of), but I simply can not visualize it. They even had little graphics to demonstrate the extra dimensions, yet that still looked two and three dimensional (for obvious reasons) and didn’t help me conceptualize nine dimensions at all.

I’m assuming my brain is just wired differently from those who grasp this.

The new money pit home money pit is going great, except for the parts that aren’t, but I guess that is how life works. Question for any readers who have made bonsai: where do you find live moss? I want to try kokedama gardening (sort of like bonsai without the pot) to deco up my shelves that will be totally awesome as soon as I finish making them, but I need live moss to wrap the dirt ball. Does the dried sheet moss that craft stores sell come back to life if you wet it? Otherwise I guess that I will have to go with some expensive mail order product. Thanks!
